Viva Mill Project

Viva has recently taken a huge step to secure its future as an organisation and purchased a historic but disused Mill building in Soham. Our vision is to create a home for Viva for evermore and a base for all of our activities, performances and projects; but also, to create an arts and community centre for Soham, which would be the only such facility in our whole district! However before the Mill can start to be used it desperately needs a new roof!

How the funding will be spent

We need to raise £25,000 for a brand new roof. This amount will cover labour, materials and legal requirements.

How this will benefit the community

The building would host a range of community and arts groups and activities and would be available for the whole community. It would be the only community owned building in the town and would be run by and for the community.
The facility will be used by young and old with a wide range of activities on offer. The facility will also host school holiday activity clubs, parties and celebrations, film nights, quiz nights and regular whole-community social events.
